All individuals are a part of at least one culture. These cultural contingencies shape behavior, behavior that may or may not be acceptable or familiar to behavior analysts from another culture. To better serve individuals, assessments and interventions should be selected with a consideration of cultural factors, including cultural preferences and norms. The purpose of this paper is to provide suggestions to serve as a starting point for developing behavior analysts' cultural awareness skills. We present strategies for understanding behavior analysts' personal cultural values and contingencies and those of their clients, integrating cultural awareness practices into service delivery, supervision, and professional development, and becoming culturally aware in everyday practice.
所有人都是至少一种文化的一部分。这些文化因素塑造着行为，而这些行为对于来自其他文化的行为分析师来说，可能是可接受的，也可能是不可接受的，或者是不熟悉的。为了更好地服务个体，在选择评估和干预措施时应考虑文化因素，包括文化偏好和规范。本文旨在提供一些建议，作为培养行为分析师文化意识技能的起点。我们提出了一些策略，用于理解行为分析师自身的文化价值观和影响因素以及他们客户的文化价值观和影响因素，将文化意识实践融入服务提供、监督和专业发展中，并在日常实践中提高文化意识。
